Stolen Grace
In the Old and New Testaments, people who failed God were still used by Him to build His Kingdom and church. The genealogy of Jesus and references in Hebrews 11 show that God used broken and messed-up individuals. The Bible is full of stories of people who struggled, stumbled, and failed God. Saul (Paul) encountered a life-changing transformation on the road to Damascus, becoming the greatest apostle. Moses, David, Solomon, and Rahab are examples of how God still uses us despite our mistakes. Our brokenness does not limit God’s reach or His ability to make us effective for His purpose. Others’ judgments should not deter us. Even when we feel broken or have messed up, we should draw closer to God, seeking His direction, help, and strength. Like David, we can ask God to create a clean heart, renew our spirit, and restore the joy of His salvation.
